1 Speed Control Cable problem of the 2011 Kia Motor RIO

Failure Date: 10/18/2019

I was driving on interstate 8 in la mesa California at approximately 70 mph when the throttle on my vehicle stuck. I was able to shift my vehicle into neutral and pull over. The engine continued revving until I shut off the ignition. The throttle cable was stuck. I had the vehicle towed to kia of el cajon where they diagnosed a faulty throttle cable and throttle body. The vehicle would not stop accelerating, and if there had been more traffic, there would have been a collision.

2 Speed Control Cable problem of the 2006 Kia Motor RIO

Failure Date: 02/11/2012

Unintended acceleration: the cable broke. The gas pedal would not come up. The car kept speeding up and up. I was going 60 in a 30 mph zone. The cable should never brake. It is not a part that wears out. Happy that I did not die or cause anyone else to get hurt.
